Set along the locale of Waterloo Street, this series of staged self-portraits traces the residual presence of a city in flux. During nightfall, the artist photographs himself as a speculative mid-century flâneur—poised against an urban landscape bearing remnants of colonial legacies, migrant narratives, and trade union movements. The city becomes palimpsest, each image drawing the past into view through quiet acts of embodiment.
Moving between visibility and disappearance, the work dwells where memory resists the forward march of development. It asks how a place holds its history, and how that history might be conjured—if only for a moment—before vanishing again.
